Ant 3rd-youngest to 10k points: 'Lot more to go'
"MINNEAPOLIS -- Anthony Edwards became the third-youngest player in NBA history to reach 10,000 career points, when the Minnesota Timberwolves star swished a 13-foot fadeaway jumper from the baseline midway through the fourth quarter against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night. Edwards, at 24 years and 156 days old, was beaten to the mark by just LeBron James (23 years, 59 days) and Kevin Durant (24 years, 33 days)."
""To be honest, it's cool, but I know I've got a lot more to go, so it's really nothing, for real," Edwards said after the 131-122 victory over the Cavaliers. "I'm kind of sick that I got in front of Kobe. I wished I would've waited like 100 days or something, but yeah, it's all good." Edwards had 25 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds as the Timberwolves finished with season highs in field goal shooting (51-for-89, 57%) and 3-point shooting (20-for-38, 53%)."
